Wild Soul Expedition: South Africa 2026

South Africa • November 16–23, 2026

A Regenerative Journey into the African Bush

Are you ready for an experience that goes far beyond traditional travel?
This exclusive 8-day adventure invites you to discover South Africa through the eyes of a conservationist, immersing yourself in breathtaking wilderness, impactful projects, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

From the vibrant streets of Johannesburg to the iconic landscapes of the Kruger National Park, every moment of this journey is designed to inspire, educate, and ignite a deeper appreciation for our planet. Throughout the week, you’ll travel alongside Mario Passoni, naturalist and Conservation Project Manager at the World Sustainability Foundation (WSF), who will enrich your days with engaging, accessible sessions on wildlife, ecosystems, and the meaning of regenerative travel.

This is not a lecture-based trip—it’s a hands-on, immersive experience created to bring you closer to nature and the people who protect it.

What Awaits You

A powerful start in Johannesburg
Arrive in one of Africa’s most dynamic cities and join a private guided tour of the Apartheid Museum—a profound introduction to South Africa’s history and resilience.

Two days of meaningful impact at DAKTARI
Live within a long-standing NGO that educates local children about wildlife conservation. Your stay supports their mission, and you’ll even take part in activities such as animal care, enclosure building, and daily operations within the sanctuary.

A night under the stars at Tshukudu Game Reserve
Settle into an authentic bush camp and venture out on a sunset game drive in Big Five territory. Share stories around a traditional braai and wake up the next morning for a guided bush walk through pristine wilderness.

Explore the legendary Kruger National Park
Spend two days on open-vehicle safaris in one of the world’s most renowned wildlife reserves. Wake up to the sounds of the savannah, discover its diverse ecosystems, and live the rhythm of the bush both day and night.

A journey to the mountains at Mariepskop
Travel to the highest point of the Blyde River Canyon for breathtaking views and exceptional birdwatching moments before relaxing in Hoedspruit for your final overnight stay.

Throughout the experience, logistics, transfers, meals, accommodations, and expert guidance are fully taken care of—allowing you to focus entirely on absorbing the magic around you.
